Things to Do in Cairo This Weekend

10 December 2015

Let’s put the small-talk aside this week – although, like, what’s up with this weather? – because a huge weekend across Cairo awaits, with Nacelle, Zigzag, Cairo Jazz Club and even Underground prepare for a busy couple of days. Ready, set….go.

GLAMOUR PUNK SHOWCASE @ UNDERGROUND(Thursday)Underground has been gaining traction in popularity as of late and the Mohandiseen bar is set to host possibly its biggest event yet, as British record label, Glamour Punk, takes over, with king of the mountain, Moussa Clarke, headlining an evening that will see Cairo’s Minus T and Hady Tarek also take to the decks.__________

THIRD SON + MISTY @ ZIGZAG(Thursday)In what is being touted as the biggest event of the weekend, Zigzag has teamed up with Space Sharm to bring one of the hottest electronic music acts in British producer/DJ, Third Son to Cairo for a special night that will also feature the always dependable Misty.__________

RIFF BAND ANNIVERSARY @ CAIRO JAZZ CLUB(Thursday)As one of the best jazz outfits in Egypt, the Riff Band have been doing their ‘thang’, so to speak for a remarkable thirteen years and, as favourites at Cairo Jazz Club, Ahmed Harfoush, Noha Fekry and co. are marking the occasion with a special performance.__________

FUNK N POP @ ROYAL CLUB MOHAMED ALY(Friday)Fighting the good fight against Cairo’s increasingly chilly weather, Funk N Pop is back this weekend, albeit with a significantly smaller line-up.

DAVE SEAMAN @ CAIRO JAZZ CLUB(Friday)One of Cairo’s most popular series, Beats Landing, makes a return this weekend and is doing so with style, as legendary British DJ, Dave Seaman, makes a welcome return to Egypt at Cairo Jazz Club, with sibling duo, Gawdat, on opening duties.__________
